    • Traits help explain species' performance away from their climate niche centre 

      Lynn, Joshua; Gya, Ragnhild; Klanderud, Kari; Telford, Richard James; Goldberg, Deborah E.; Vandvik, Vigdis (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Aim: Climate change impacts on biota are variable across sites, among species and throughout individual species' ranges. Niche theory predicts that population performance should decline as site climate becomes increasingly ...
